Dissapointing
The experience in Kruger Park was ok but not how we expected, we didnt saw too many animals. We think that our guide wasnt good, he drive for the same part of the park most of the time, we spend our without seeing animals.
We didnt saw any cheetas, leopards and Rhinos. The thing is that most of the time you can see them there, so we think that our guide wasnt good. We’ve been in Tanzania but there is another thing, we really enjoy there, the parks, the tour guide and we saw a lot of animals.
We noticed that many people that pay a lot in the private reserve they has more chances to see animals and different species, I dont know if that a point to consider because they own a lot of animals , and the know exactlu where they are, but is very expensive too. Or maybe the option to drive by yourself could bebetter because you can go everywhere..
Also the communication during the tour with the agency wasnt good (Shinzelle Safaris).
We regret to add Kruger Park in our trip to Africa, that money could worth it, in another place, because we visited Tanzania and Uganda and everything there was amazing.

fantastic wildlife experience at Sanbona Resort
We had a fantastic stay at Sanbona Wildlife Resort about 3 hours from CapeTown very well organized by Gems of Africa. After this safari we enjoyed a few days in CapeTown, one of our favorite cities in the world. Finally we went to Stellenbosch to visit some wineries including the degustation of very good South African wines. Overall our trip was one of the highligt of our life.

Highly recommend
My friend and I booked the 4-Day Tremisana Kruger Park Safari with Viva Safaris. I couldn't rate it any higher. The whole experience was amazing, we saw so many animals, all the staff were amazing and the services including the food was fantastic.

Better than I could have imagined
My husband and I booked flights to SA but didn't have a full plan, and about a week before we left decided to book a Safari in or near Kruger. I reached out to Safari Bookings who sent out questions to a few safari tour companies and eventually connected us with MoAfrika tours.
MoAfrica had amazing communication - they called me right away, texted and when we talked on WhatsAPP, even sent voice memos with instructions which was helpful and made me feel safe that I was booking with a real person! Their online reservation system was easy, safe and secure. I had origionally thought I wanted to stay in Kruger itself, but many were booked so the agent suggested Kapama Southern Camp.
We were picked up by a bus from JoBerg airport to our destination and I could not BELIEVE how lovely Kapama was!
Our guides Selbie and Dee were amazing - Kapama seemed to pair you in your vehicle with like people, so we were with 2 other younger couples. We had the same guides, and waiter for our 3 nights so we really got to know them very quickly. All food and alcohol were included, and the food did not disappoint!! Everything was absolutely magnificent!
My favorite part though were the animals - we saw everything.. Zebra, Rinos, Giraffe, Lions, Leopards, Buffalo, Wharthogs, Impala, Kudu, Nyala... and my absolute favorite - Elephants! Plus its late spring/early summer so all the babies were out!! The weather was perfect, not too hot not too cold.
We brought hiking gear - and did a bush walk but for packing I would say you could get away with some tough sneakers or hiking boots, breathable pants, and then layers on top - I needed my sweatshirt + rain jacket at night usually to break the wind, though there are also blanks and hot water bottles for the trip.
Absolutely the experience of a lifetime - don't hesitate!!

Culture, adventure, beautiful landscapes, welcoming people: that's South Africa!
South Africa is wonderful. Exceeded my expectations. It is a country full of natural beauty, with a very rich culture and extremely welcoming people. I didn't feel unsafe at any point. I loved visiting its parks and reserves, its museums, learning a little more about its history and its great icons. I had the chance to visit Johannesburg, Cape Town, the wine region, Kruger Park, the panorama route. I stayed in the country for 21 days and found it very little. I will be back!!!

Spectacular
My safari I. South Africa was great.
Everything was well organised and I manage to enjoy everything. All the time was full in with activities and very interesting safaris.
Beautiful and kind
My trip met my expectations, it went as expected. I took the 3 day safari to Kruger National Park, it may take about 5 days. I also visited the Pilanesberg national park, it is highly recommended, it is easier to see wildlife in this place than in Kruger. Thanks to Viva safari and Moafrika for making these experiences possible.

Unforgettable memories
Our family of four (kids aged 5 and 8) embarked on an unforgettable safari adventure in Kruger National Park with Khalanga Safaris in September 2023. From the moment we started planning with Shoes to the thrilling wildlife encounters, our experience was amazing.
Before we even flew to South Africa, Shoes was very helpful to help build our Kruger stay. Once in Johannesburg, our transfer from O.R Tambo was smooth and off we were on safari.
Our itinerary made us spend two nights in Skukuza and 1 night in Satara. Changing camps allowed us to witness the changing landscape and see different types of animals. We were lucky to see four of the big five, including leopards and lions from up close.
Without Shoes’ spotting talents, we would probably have missed half the wildlife and he shared interesting details on the animals we were seeing. Desmond cooked us delicious food which made the experience even more special.
We will cherish the memories of our trip to South Africa and in particular these three days spent with Khalanga Safaris in Kruger National Park.

A haven for wildlife & people seeking an escape from their reality.
Baobab Ridge was an incredible experience and the hospitality was unmatched. The staff, the game drives, the meals were all incredible and I made many new friends along the way! I cannot wait to bring back family and friends to enjoy. Indigo Safaris did a great job helping me to plan the trip and following up before and during to make sure things went smoothly.

Must visit
Joburg was a stopover which became a wonderful experience. It is a very interesting city and I also enjoyed travelling to Kruger National Park which was everything I hoped. So much more to see but my week provided memories everyone should experience.
